We asked hedge fund managers to weigh in on how to deal with the “fiscal cliff.” About three-quarters recommend some combination of cutting spending and increasing taxes, and the largest segment, 43.8%, urges some tax increases coupled with larger spending cuts.

Of the 89 hedge fund managers we surveyed in mid-November, 43.8% are bearish on the S&P 500 for December, while 27.0% are neutral and 29.2% are bullish. Bearish sentiment is at a 12-month high, neutral sentiment is at a 12-month low, and bullishness is at its lowest since May. . . .
